When Alisson will make his Liverpool debut after £67m Roma switch
Brazilian stopper did not travel with the squad to America as he was given an extended break by Jurgen Klopp
JURGEN KLOPP is eyeing Liverpool's clash with Napoli in Dublin to hand Alisson his debut.
The Reds face the Serie A title hopefuls on August 4 and their £67million stopper will likely make his bow.
Brazil ace Alisson, 25, was left out of the 29-man International Champions Cup squad to tour America after being given an extended break.
Klopp told : “He will play, of course. When Alisson is ready, he will be in our goal.
"We all need to help him so he can perform as good as possible.
“He is desperate to play. He could have joined us here in America but it made absolutely no sense.
